- linguistic skills and cultural knowledge normally acquired in high schools and human sciences secondary education institutes
- logical skills
- ability to understand and contextualize a written text
The level of knowledge required is the one envisaged by secondary school programmes in human sciences.
Preliminary knowledge – assessment method
The adequacy of the student’s preparation is verified by the achievement, in the admission test, of a minimum score, that is by correctly answering half plus one of the questions. Those students who do not reach the minimum assessment are assigned specific Additional Training Obligations (OFA).

Attendance at recovery activities for students with debt is mandatory. At the end of the activities, the student will sit a test, the specifics of which will be publicised on the web page of the degree programme. Failure to complete the Additional Training Obligations–OFA will prevent students from taking the Italian language and literature exam in the first year, as well as all second- and third-year exams.
